Michael and I went to see Iris on Saturday night and had a really good time. It was a great show.
We went out for dinner first at Rolling Stone, yes the famed magazine runs a restaurant. I don't normally take pictures of my food at restaurants but I thought it was such a pretty dish. I had acorn squash tortellini with balsamic brown butter and pumpkin seeds which was fabulous.
We shared some onion rings. Michael had a turkey sandwich with melted brie and fig marmalade on walnut bread. It was also delicious.
Since this was a night out on the town we saved room for dessert. I picked the funnel cake with ice cream and melted Nutella. Who doesn't love Nutella?
After the show we became tourists and strolled the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Grauman's Chinese Theater. I figured Michael Jackson's star and Julie Andrews hand prints were good photo -op mementos.
Need a computer? Michael had an old laptop computer that he gave to Jacob to dismantle. It took them about an hour and a half to disassemble this one. Jacob had a ball and couldn't wait to show me what all the pieces did. Another engineer in the making. 
We were invited to our neighbor's house this year for a Rosh Hashanah dinner party. We decided to make this honey challah that was featured in the LA Times this month. Michael (aka the bread man) made the dough and I braided it. It looked great and we were hoping it would taste great. The bread was a big hit at the party and we are going to make it again for our dinner with Michael's parents. In case you are in a baking mood, here is the link to the recipie.
Michael decided to make his grandmother's strudel cookies this weekend. They were delicious.
Michael made this beautiful and tasty raisin challah. Jacob did the braiding. He is an expert braider and he shows his skills at camp in which the kids make a mini loaf on Fridays. We have a cook in the making.
For those of you that don't know, my husband has turned into the bread man. Very often on weekends bread is baking in the oven. Sometimes he has varying degrees of success but this week he made the perfect challah. Jacob even helped, he braided the bread. Next weeks assignment, raisin bread.
